    Found my parents “Business as usual” - Men at work vinyl.

    Memorized “Down Under” listening with Sony DR-S5s. I always thought that’s how you were supposed to listen since the cord matched the one on the album cover.

    Can you please edit the post and clarify what you mean by “turn on”? I’m not smart enough. Thank you.

      Turn on meaning cause the music to play. OP means what non-kids music did you listen to when you were first in control of what music to play.

    I can’t be the only one who can’t parse this sentence.

    I’m sorry, can you rephrase this? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.

    I’m not sure of the first song, but the first music I ever bought myself was II by Boyz II Men.

    I loved playing with my bigger sister’s cheap hi-fi, I would put on a vinyl record and without power turned the record manually save heard whispering ^(🎵cherry cherry lady…🎶), so there’s Modern Talking, then when she bought a CD player it was Crush by Jennifer Page

    I found a burned CD in my older brothers rooms. On it was Symphony X’s album “Twilight in Olympus” and I loved it

    Eminem curtain call. My grandma brought it for me having no idea what it was. I was listening to it for a few days before my mum was like wtf is that and then listened to the first song on the album which was fack. I was 9 or 10 and she confiscated it and I had to steal it back and rip it to the computer and create copies incase she got those.

      I remember making back up’s of songs I liked that had swearing in them when i was like 8 in case my mom found them. I think I had like 5 or 6 copies of Damnit by Blink 182 hidden in my folder on the family computer, which had an 8gb hard drive.
